A/C drain mod

Bought some parts at the local Pep Boys thinking they would work for an A/C drain mod. Hose clamps came from Auto Zone (also used the clamps for my diff. breather mod).
I want to replace the current hose clamp with a squeeze type so if I ever need to pull it off I don't have to grab a screwdriver.

Dorman vacuum connector #47348 and (looking for part numbers)

 

I'd pop that rubber 90 off every spring, and poke around in there with a bit of baling wire or something. Between the plastic splice, the 90 degree turn in that rubber elbow, and the hard tubing, there's a lot of restrictions for relatively small crap to clog up, and have your passenger's feet getting rained on when you use the A/C. You'd be surprised how easy it is for some reason, I've had to poke clogs out of cars that had a nice, clear 1/2" ID rubber drain that didn't even make a tight turn.

 

Believe me, I know all about plugged A/C drains working for Lexus.

The was really a proof of concept and I'm not even sure if it will stay on the truck.

 

You should have bought a can of fluid film also.

 

I did this a LONG while ago with a simple piece of 3/8ths tubing and a 3/8ths straight barb and ran it allll the way down past the bottom of the frame right at the LCA bolt.

 

I did not want to restrict the flow or making it any easier to clog up. Being I was making it longer I stuck a piece of 5/8 heater hose over the drain hose and ran it low enough that it never touches steel . Much more water puddling on the garage floor than ever before
